Southport White Globe. Pure white in color, 
mild flavor, and equally as good for shipping as the 
yellow sort. It is a prolific yielder, and also sells 
at high prices. It is best to dry these Onions in a 
shady place where they will get plenty of air. Our 
seed of this strain is very fine and raised from se- 
lected bulbs, and is much better than ordinary 
seeds offered by some houses. Oz. 30 cts., %\b.

Onion Sets should be planted out as early in the 
spring as the ground is dry enough to work. Plant 
them in rows 1 foot apart, the sets 3 to 4 inches apart 
in the row. Our Onion Sets are Jersey-grown and 
we think superior to the western-grown sets.

Culture. — Peas mature earlier in a light, rich 
soil. For general crop, a rich, deep, loam or inclining 
to clay is best. Sow in double rows, 6 to 8 inches 
apart, in rows 2 to 4 feet apart. The tall ones require 
brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties 
as early as the ground can be worked in March or 
Improved Stratagem Peas 
April, continuing for a succession every two weeks 
until June, then discontinuing until the middle of 
August, when a good crop may be secured by sowing 
the extra-early and large sorts for fall use. They 
should be kept clean and earthed up twice during 
the growth. The wrinkled varieties are not so 
hardy as the round sorts and, if planted early, they 
should have a dry soil or they are liable to rot in the 
ground. They are, however, the sweetest and best- 
flavored varieties. The dwarf varieties are best 
suited for small gardens or for forcing.
